�e following is a release from the King County Housing Authority:

�e King County Housing Authority received more than 22,000 applications for Section 8 rental assistance during a two-week application period that closed Feb. 10.

�e 22,615 families that submitted an appli-cation represent more than 50,100 individuals living in extreme poverty and unstable housing including nearly 22,000 children − 35 percent of whom are homeless. Of these, one out of every four children are in a household �eeing domestic violence.

In addition, 12,116 applicants are seniors and people with disabilities and 906 applicants are veterans who have served in America’s armed forces.

“�ese numbers show that there is simply not enough a�ordable housing for low-income households in King County,” said Stephen Norman, executive director of the King County Housing Authority. “�e region is becoming too expensive for many folks already living here − seniors whose monthly Social Security check is less than the cost of rent; families with children where low wages aren’t keeping up with rising rents; veterans struggling to �nd stable housing. A staggering 42 percent of the households who applied are homeless.”

A lottery will be held in March to determine which of the 22,615 families will be placed on the waiting list, which will be capped at 2,500

slots. �e �rst applicants on the list will be issued vouchers in April. Depending on federal funding, those at the tail end of the list could face a wait of four or more years to obtain a voucher.

�e Section 8 Housing Choice voucher program targets low-income households most in need of housing in King County. Applicants must be homeless or about to become home-less, live in substandard housing or be spending more than 50 percent of their income on rent. A typical household in KCHA’s program has an average income of $14,200.

Currently, KCHA Section 8 program provides rental assistance to 11,300 families in King County. More than 3,200 landlords participate in the program.

Generally the program pays the di�erence between the rent charged by a housing owner and the assisted household’s rental contribu-tion, which is set at approximately 30 percent of the household’s income adjusted for family size and utility costs.

“Finding decent, a�ordable housing in King County is a tremendous challenge for poor people,” Norman said. “For elderly and disabled individuals on �xed incomes, for low-wage families, decent housing is o�en beyond reach − and the most vulnerable members of our community are increasingly being forced to choose between food, medicine or rent. More and more are going homeless.”

Demand for KCHA Section 8 vouchers remains strong

Sammamish City Council members have just about �nished interviews for openings on the Sammamish Planning Commission.

�ree of the seven commission posi-tions are vacant.

�e council will vote on the candidates March 17 during the regularly scheduled council meeting.

Two of the three open positions are for a four-year term; the other is a one-year term due to a resignation.

�e commission was formed in 2003 and makes recommendations to the council regarding land-use regulations and the city’s comprehensive plan.

�e next Planning Commission meet-ing is March 19.

Sammamish near vote on commission applicants

It was there when Sam-mamish incorporated into into a city and has been a point of contention for the surrounding residents for more than a decade.

Concerned resident a�er concerned resident addressed the council dur-ing the public comment section of the meeting. Supporters of the bar-ricade noted the safety concerns of thru-tra�c, including steep hills, blind corners, speeding vehicles, frequent pedestrian activities and hazardous bus stops.

“It’s just a crazy hill,” Timberline Park resident

Tom Rizzo said. “To make that thing safe, you’d have to put in a ton of speed bumps.”

Rizzo, who lives just a couple houses east of the barricade, admit-tedly should support the barricade’s removal. If it were removed, he could easily shave 15 minutes o� his morning and evening commutes.

“I don’t mind driving around because it’s com-pletely unsafe,” he said.

Rizzo’s 3-year-old and 9-year-old daughters play on the hill. In the winter time, he says it’s a great place to go sledding.

Most residents cite similar safety issues.

Timberline resident Greg Reynolds calls these “emotional” arguments.

“If it’s safe for you to drive on that hill, why is it unsafe for me to?” he asked another Timberline Park resident last week.

Citing mainly docu-mentation from the 1996 hiring examiners report and city policies, Reynolds also protests the barrier’s legality.

Council member Kathleen Huckabay was the only council member opposed to having the city further investigate the issue.

She cautioned the audi-ence and the council that pursuing this investigation casts an uncertain future for the barricade. �e data could support removing the gate.

Dissatis� ed with the recently updat-ed East Lake Sammamish Trail design plans for segment A, the Sammamish City Council wants an explanation from King County sta� .

� e county released its 90 percent design report for the southern Sam-mamish segment A earlier this week.

However, council members said the design appears to lack � exibility con-cerning trail width and the number of trees removed — something residents had felt would be considered more closely.

� e county had collected public comments regarding its recent plans to widen and pave the path. Public works director Laura Philpot said at the Sammamish City Council meeting on Tuesday that the county has not been able to get through all of those comments.

Council member Romiro Valder-rama-Aramayo pressed the council to vote to bring the county in and explain the situation, which was being blamed on miscommunication. � e

motion passed.Valderrama-Aramayo even moved

to threaten to withdraw the trail from the Inter Local Agreement with the county if county sta� do not present a satisfactory answer.

Ultimately, Valderrama-Aramayo’s motion to withdraw the ILA failed.

“I don’t think we’ll be ready to have that discussion,” council member Kathleen Huckabay.

Huckabay was concerned with the consequences of taking such action. She said she wants to give the county the bene� t of the doubt.

Philpot was slated to meet with King County parks director Kevin Brown late this week.

An update from that meeting is scheduled to be presented at the next council meeting, on March 3.

Philpot said she would also ask Brown, or another King County sta� member, to address the council at the next meeting.

� e East Lake Sammamish Trail is an 11-mile recreational path, which was originally a railway, that winds along Lake Sammamish. Recently, the county has been making progress on

paving and widening it. � e trail runs through some Sammamish private residences.

buisnesses and citizens to put more resources into mobil-ity; and the need to meet federal Environmental Protec-tion Agency requirements for the city's water pollutant discharge permit.

All cities that collect stormwater in sewers and discharge it to other bodies of water are required by the Clean Water Act to have a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit. Issaquah has a Phase II permit, putting it on the hook for a Stormwater Management Program that includes public outreach and involvement, detection and elimination of illicit discharge, runo� control at construc-tion sites and pollution prevention.

� e environmental associate responsible for those duties will be upgraded to full time, from three-quarters of full time.

� e positions that will open up include two full-time se-nior engineers, one to be recruited as soon as possible and another in the last three months of 2015. Both positions would be responsible for capital project management and design and construction. However, one would be addition-ally focused on transportation and the other on utilities.

Councilmember Nina Milligan questioned whether the city budget would be able to handle the new costs, in terms of salary and eventual severance.

Moon said some of the costs would come out of capital funds where consulting contracts had been factored in. Severance would be trickier to calculate. But she added that the utilities engineer, particularly, would result in cost savings for the city down the line.

Some councilmembers were unsure about the potential for savings.

"� at gives me pause and it still does," Councilmember Eileen Barber said.

� e council amended the proposal for a committee to examine savings by the end of the year.

Councilmember Stacy Goodman believed the new engi-neers would � ll an important role in the city's future.

"� ere's something tougher than the strain on our bud-get and that's the strain on our roads," she said.

When life hangs in balanceBY TOM REA, MD

The Life Sciences Discovery Fund was created to support life sciences research and

development in Washington state. When applied to health care and medicine, this research and devel-

opment has the potential to save lives.

Cardiac arrest is an important example where applied science can improve health care. In cardiac ar-rest, the heart stops beating suddenly, blood pressure

drops, and consciousness is lost. Death is certain unless the heart can be restarted in minutes.

Successful resuscitation is possible, but requires a coordinated, time-sensitive set of rescuer actions that integrate emergency response (call 9-1-1), CPR (chest compressions), de� brillation (electrical shock), and advanced medical therapies. � ese lifesaving actions require a team approach that includes the general

public, the emergency dispatcher, the EMT, the paramedic and hospital providers.

� e Life Sciences Discovery Fund has helped ensure that the team of rescuers is better prepared for those precious minutes when life hangs in the balance.

In 2008, the Life Sciences Discov-ery Fund and partners collaborated to develop the Program to Integrate Technology and Cardiac Arrest Re-suscitation, leveraging the strengths of the region’s emergency care system. Partners such as the Medic One/King County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division of Public Health – Seattle & King County, the University of Washington, Philips Medical, Physio-Control Inc. and others came together to evaluate a variety of strat-egies to improve survival rates.

In undertaking the program, the partners leveraged the region’s high cardiac arrest survival. King County boasts the highest survival in the world, with more than 60 percent of patients surviving from collapse to hospital discharge. By comparison, cities like New York and Chicago

Credibility takes a beating

Credibility is the most im-portant thing there is in a news operation. Hard to attain, harder to maintain, and way too easy to lose.

So when someone takes a chunk out of it, it hurts. And when that someone is at the top of the heap, it hurts even more.

NBC’s Brian Williams is now among the self-in� icted vic-tims, admitting con� ating some memories (“con� ate-gate?” No! Please! Let’s not go there.) on his coverage of the war in the Mid-East, and being questioned about Hurricane Katrina coverage. It appears he may have crossed a line that’s uncrossable in the profession, into � ction. And covering himself covering the news…seldom a good idea.

Not the � rst to do so, and not the most egregious, but when someone as prominent as he is does it, it hurts not only him, but every reporter, anchor, and

LETTERS

SEE LETTERS, 5SEE REA, 5

The $15 an hour minimum wage got another twist this week with a bill introduced in the state Sen-ate. Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, would take

away local authority to raise the minimum wage while peg-ging the statewide minimum wage to new standards.

It’s an idea that has merit and deserves attention.Seattle voters last year approved a $15 an hour minimum

wage, which will be phased in over several years depending on such things as company size. Under Miloscia’s plan, the state’s minimum wage instead would rise based on urban in� ation and personal income growth. Miloscia says those factors would boost the minimum wage about 45 cents each year. It would take longer to reach $15, but it would get there faster than under the state formula now.

� at likely won’t sit well with backers of the $15 an hour wage, but a statewide system makes sense.

� e problem with local options is they can produce confusion and sometimes unintended consequences when one city bumps up against another. � at was the case some years back regarding blood-alcohol levels that would trig-ger a DUI in Bellevue and Redmond. A motorist having some drinks in a restaurant in the Overlake area could drive legally on the Bellevue side of 148th Avenue North-east. Yet, just across the street was Redmond, where the amount of alcohol in the blood could trigger a DUI.

Likewise, a business in Seattle, having to pay a higher-than-elsewhere minimum wage, would be at a competitive disadvantage with a similar company operating a few short feet away in a city without the higher wage.

Sure, most businesses further within the Seattle city lim-its won’t face that situation. But the $15 an hour minimum wage already has caused one Seattle company to say it’s transferring some manufacturing jobs to Nevada.

Given the Democratic control of the state House, Milos-cia’s bill probably will have tough sledding there. But the fact remains we have a statewide minimum wage now. If it needs to be raised higher and faster, then that should be statewide as well.

report survival rates in the single digits. �e high rate of survival is a testament to the ongoing e�ort to rigorously evaluate emergency care by King County EMS and to the dedication, skills and teamwork of the region’s emergency dispatchers, EMTs and paramedics.

�e goals of the program are not just to advance scienti�c understanding, but to engage in innovative programs that can improve survival around the region

and across the state. To this end, two new

approaches have been deployed.

First, a “Resuscitation Academy” provides a cur-riculum aimed at enabling leadership to improve SCA survival in their commu-nity. �us far, the academy has trained individuals in 31 of 39 Washington counties.

A second community engagement e�ort involves police o�cers. Although police respond to a variety of emergencies, they tradition-ally do not routinely respond to medical emergencies.

However, medical tech-nology has advanced so that police can provide lifesaving treatment for cardiac arrest patients with de�brillators.

�rough a coordinated ef-fort involving Norcom Com-munications, the Bellevue Fire Department and King County EMS, the Bellevue Police Department launched a pilot program to respond to and treat SCA patients as part of a team response that included the Bellevue EMTs and paramedics. Launched in 2011, the police program is directly responsible for

several saved lives that would have otherwise been lost. Other communities across Washington state are developing similar police programs. Trans-lated across the state, police response for cardiac arrest provides the potential to save hundreds of additional lives in Washington.

�e program to Integrate Technology and Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation builds on a track record of evalu-ation and innovation that leverages the strengths of the region’s emergency care

system. �e collaboration with public safety, commu-nity, and industry stakehold-ers provides an e�ective “life sciences” strategy to advance health locally and across Washington state.

Tom Rea is a physician at Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington. He is Program Medical Director for King County Medic One. He is part of the team involved in the Program to Integrate Technology and Cardiac Ar-rest Resuscitation.

newsroom in the coun-try. You’ll probably hear “If we can’t trust him, who can we trust?” and “�ey’re all liars … this just proves it.”

If I can, I’ll still watch Brian Williams because I enjoy his style, his writing and his sense of humor. But, I’ll trust him a little less. And that’s the worst thing you can say to or about a reporter.

Owners sell propertyto housing developersBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

� e Sammamish Learning Center will permanently close its doors in June, at the end of the school year.

� e preschool is sta� ed by around 20 women who have taught hundreds of Eastside children ages 3-5 since the school opened in the mid '90s.

Currently there are more than 100 chil-dren enrolled. Many students are not there every day, but attend either a morning or a� ernoon session every other day.

Co-owners Helen Glenn, of Bremer-ton, and Jill Porter, of Issaquah, sold the property to the American Classic Homes developer last year.

"� is prompted our retirement," Glenn said.

Glenn and Porter opened the Sam-mamish Learning Center in 1995 a� er buying and converting the house o� of 29th Street.

"We have just been so proud of every-thing we've accomplished," Glenn said. "A lot of the kids we've served have actually graduated from college."

Most of the employees have been teach-ing since their own children were in the program.

And a� er 20 years of business, these woman are sad to see the school perma-nently close its doors at the end of the school year.

"It's going to be tough," assistant director Louise Boothroyd said.

Boothroyd, of Bellevue, has been working at the preschool for 16 years.

"I've never had a bad day. I smile all the time," she said.

Her daughter, Holly, attended the school when she was young. She's now attending a college in England.

Parent Heather Krabbe, of Issaquah, has seen the bene� ts of the school re� ected in her children.

"� ey just really help them get ready for the next stage of their life," she said. "It's been an amazing place for our children to grow into little people."

� e National Association for the Educa-tion of Young Children has accredited the school for the last 15 years. � e association insures the students receive a high-quality program.

Krabbe has seen the individual atten-tion given to children and said the center does a great job of teaching youngsters and reinforcing concepts.

"I'm sad to see them close," said Krabbe, who has a four-year-old son currently en-rolled in the preschool. Krabbe's daughter,

now in kindergarten, attended last year.Krabbe, previously a kindergarten teacher

in California, asked her local elementary school for preschool recommendations when her family moved to Washington. � e Sammamish Learning Center was the only preschool recommended.

"It really has been a great school," she said.

While sta� and current parents were aware this was the school's last year, the closure has not gotten a lot of publicity.

� e business will close a� er its alumni reunion, which is June 13 at 2 p.m.

� e house is located at 22629 S.E. 29th St.

BY JOSH STILTSREPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Richard Akutagawa has a simple message for all writers:

"Do it, do it now, because you never know when you won't have now anymore."

Akutagawa's real life has had enough drama in it to be its own novel, which is why he so o� en draws on it for moments in his � ction writing, especially in his � rst published book "Mirage in the Desert."

Based loosely on the life of his mother-in-law and her time as a teenager in an Arizona Japanese internment camp during World War II, Akutagawa masterfully captures the hope of an older child trying to � nd beauty as she transitions into adult-hood in a horrible place.

Next month the Issaquah resident will turn 70, a birthday he never thought he'd see 10 years ago.

In May 2004 he was diagnosed with stage-four plus laryngeal cancer — es-sentially a death sentence — a� er years of heavy smoking. � e cancer had spread to his lymph nodes and he was given just 45 days to live.

But he wasn't about to go down without a � ght and thanks to Dr. Audrey Tran, he avoided a tracheotomy and was able to beat

the odds and cancer.� e treatment and the chemotherapy

took its toll on him, but Akutagawa had something to focus on: writing his novel.

“A� er radiation and chemo the only thing keeping my mind focused and sharp was writing this book," he said.

But it took another tragedy before he could get it published.

In August 2014, Akutagawa's wife of

36 years, Jane M. Kato died, leaving him broken and alone. Melancholy and depres-sion followed immediately. � ankfully, he said, it didn't last and he was able to use his wife's words and his writing to cope with the loss.

Before she died, she told him, "Richard, you can't be fooling around with this book. Time is precious."

� e words were "heartbreaking" for him to hear, but in publishing his � rst book, Akutagawa said he hopes to honor the love of his life through his writing.

"She was just a really cool person," he said tearfully. "Everyone said she was always the most pleasant person."

As the organized one in the relation-ship, Jane would organize Richard's pills, his appointments and ensure he was eating properly. She'd also be a constant yet gentle reminder that he should be writing.

In the months following her death, Richard set to work on the charge his wife had given him. Recreating her image, along with several other women he's known, ad-mired and loved, Akutagawa created Kitty Kirei, "a teenager caught in the maelstrom of fear a� er the bombing of Pearl Harbor."

� roughout her experiences in the Gila Internment Camp in Arizona, Kitty

meets three adults, combined personas of Akutagawa's most cherished people, who befriend Kitty and plan a daring escape.

"She is a mirror who sees and re� ects everything, a young lady who evolves into a woman in a tattered milieu, where all is topsy-turvy," he wrote of his character. "She discovers her broad talents and becomes aware of her large possibilities."

� e story is a gripping tale with artis-tic language that reads like an orchestral concerto. It's easy to identify his pain in his writing without being burdensome or over-done. It pulls at the heartstrings making it di� cult to put down.

Although self-published currently at $4,000 for editing and 116 copies printed, Akutagawa is working with Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon to carry his book.

While the later years of his life have been di� cult, he said he's grateful for what he's been given and the opportunity to share his writing with the world.

"If I never had the cancer I might never have written anything of importance," he said.

For more information about the book contact Richard at [email protected].

Four minutes stood between the Issaquah Eagles and Skyline Spartans in their quest to reach the Class 4A KingCo champi-onship game.

Skyline went on a 9-0 run to close out the fourth quarter, tying the game at 55-55 at the end of regula-tion. Issaquah (18-4) shook o� Skyline's run and mo-mentum in the four-minute overtime session, grinding out a 66-59 victory against Skyline (11-11) on Feb. 14 in the Class 4A KingCo semi� nals at Redmond High School.

Issaquah outscored Sky-line 11-4 in the overtime period. Eagles guard Jason Crandall, who � nished with 18 points, wasn't surprised to see his team get back on the track a� er faltering in the fourth quarter.

"We just knew it when we came over to the sideline before overtime. We knew we were the better team. � at is what our mentality was. Never for a second

did I think we were going to lose the game," Crandall said. "We were going to prove a point and win it in overtime."

Skyline's rally in the fourth quarter to force overtime was epic. Trail-ing 55-53 as the � nal

seconds trickled o� the clock Skyline sharpshooter Robert Biegaj hoisted a three-pointer toward the basket in an attempt to win the game. � e ball never reached the hoop but Skyline center Braden Ahlemeyer was there for

the layup, tying the game as time expired. Issaquah head coach Jason Gri� th said he knew there was no way his team would lose a� er looking into the eyes of his players before they took the � oor for the overtime period.

"In my 15 years of coach-ing it was the most impres-sive thing I have seen from a team going into overtime. Every single one of those guys in the huddle looked at each other and said we're not losing this game," Gri� th said. "� e look on their faces, as coaches we knew we were not going to lose."

Crandall will never forget seeing the Issaquah High School student body rush the court following the biggest win of the 2014-15 season to date.

"� is is the best feel-ing in the world. � ese fans have all this passion. Even more important than beating our rival is that we are one win away from the � nal 16 teams in the state. I think about that every single day and when I do I

Bothell Cougars sophomore Taya Corosdale was unstop-pable in the second round of the Class 4A KingCo playo�s against the Eastlake Wolves.

Corosdale scored a game-high 30 points, guiding the Cougars to a 74-53 win against the Eastlake Wolves on Feb. 14 at Redmond High School. �e Cougars bolted out to a 21-11 lead in the �rst quarter of play. Eastlake cut Bothell's lead to seven points (47-40) with 2:12 le� in the third quar-ter, but wouldn't get any closer the rest of the way. Bothell head coach Kent Schaefer said the di�erence in the �nal 10 minutes of the game came down to executing defensively.

"I felt like in the second half we played really good defense on every possession. �ey (Eastlake) have got three high quality scorers. We did a good job of keeping track of

them in the second half. In the �rst half we let their shoot-ers loose and didn't contest their shots," Schaefer said.

�e Issaquah Eagles defeated the Wolves 55-54 in a loser-out game on Feb. 17 at Redmond High School in Redmond.

Eastlake avenged two regular season losses against Sky-line courtesy of a monumental 59-50 victory on Feb. 12 at Skyline High School in Sammamish.

"�at was a big game for us,” said Eastlake head coach Sara Goldie. “We had a game-plan and the girls stuck with it. �ey believed in it. I'm really proud of them," Goldie said.

get excited," Crandall said. "�is is what you dream about when you're a kid. It's an amazing feeling."

Skyline head coach Bill McIntyre said the game-plan was to make someone other than Issaquah senior guard Ty Gibson beat them.

"Our defense had seem-ingly worked pretty well. Especially in the fourth quarter. We felt like we controlled Ty (Gibson) pretty well. �e other guys on the team were the ones that scored in overtime so you have got to give Issaquah credit," McIntyre said. "We were determined to take Ty out of the game and they were determined to take Robert (Biegaj) out of the game. It kind of turned into a 4-on-4 game. We lost a four-minute game. It is tough to swal-low but we've got to be able to move on."

�e Eagles faced the Woodinville Falcons in the Class 4A KingCo champi-onship game on Feb. 19. Results were available a�er the Reporter's deadline.

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) was named by the College Board to its 5th Annual AP District Honor Roll. �e honor is awarded for increasing access to Advanced Placement (AP) coursework while maintaining or increasing the per-centage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP exams.

According to the College Board, reaching the goals indicates that districts are success-fully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to bene�t

from rigorous AP course work.More than 90 percent of colleges and uni-

versities across the U.S. o�er college credit, advanced placement or both for a score of 3 or higher on an AP Exam. Achieving that score may save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition.

A total of 547 school districts across the U. S. and six Canadian provinces achieved honor roll status. Fourteen districts in the state of Washington achieved this honor.

“As a district, we believe in preparing all

students for college level work,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. “Our high schools have made a concerted e�ort to en-courage students to take on the challenge of AP coursework as part of that preparation.”

�e number of AP tests taken by LWSD

students increased from 2,825 in 2012 to 3,496 in 2014. At the same time, the rate of students achieving a score of 3 or higher dropped from 79 percent in 2012 to 76 percent in 2013, but returned to 79 percent in 2014.
